Does it mean they are too big to be allowed to not follow
the standard ?
Big, not respecting the standard, is it M$ ?

Did you try to add the sender to the whitelist in
amavis.conf ?

I cannot help you more with perl nor amavis, but
are you sure MGMTDATA is the "envelope" sender and
not only the "From"
header value ?

Yes, the header states:   X-Envelope-From: <mgmtdataxxxxxxxxx>

Can I add the domain only? Is the format simply
xxxxxxxxxx.com like
browntransmission.com, or would it be with a wildcard,
*browntransmission.com?

Thanks for any help you can give.
